Favorite Albums

[Dantooine is Big!]

Against my better judgement, I've decided to make this thread so everyone can populate it with their topsters charts. Let me explain:

There's a website called neverendingchartrendering.org AKA Topsters 2. On this site, you can make custom charts of album covers (and movie posters, though all the images are confined to squares since the site is originally used for album covers I guess) to show people what kind of music you like. Circulating charts of "top 40/42/100 album" lists is pretty popular and common in online internet music nerd circles, so I figured, why not bring this to Quizbowl and watch the Mitski albums make their way onto every chart? I think people have been posting some of said charts in the hs quizbowl Discord, but I figured I'd bring this tradition to the forums. Feel free to post your "my favorite albums" charts here! I'll kick things off with my own top 100 chart from May 2nd.

first as usual

[Cheynem]

Oof

[meebles127]

[Good Goblin Housekeeping]

[Gene Harrogate]

[34 + P.J. Dozier]

Didn't really think too hard about ordering. One album per artist, otherwise the first tier would've entirely been overrun by Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Playboi Carti.

[JTakang21]

Here we gooooo

[warum]

No particular order. Probably forgot a few that I like just as much as the ones I included.

[AKKOLADE]

a lot of these albums are older than me, i just listen to old music like an old man i guess

[A Dim-Witted Saboteur]

Boomer Alert (also probably a good indicator of my mental age that it took me 5 edits to upload this image)

[Stinkweed Imp]

too many things i like for a top 40, not quite enough for a top 100

[mazinomer]

here is my ever-changing topster in rough order for the top 10 or so and very rough order for the rest of the chart

[Og's Magog Bog]

[Tippy Martinez]

I frequently change my Topster, but here's one from a month or two ago that I'm still pretty happy with

[DavidB256]

Grouped roughly by genre, then roughly by how much I like them. I'll regret my choices in the morning.

One per artist, grouped in tiers after the top two albums.

[RhymesWithBee]

Here's hoping this works, this is my first time posting here, definitely a different music taste than everyone else here lol

[Serpentine284]

Ranked these based on which ones I like the most, not which ones I think are better:

screw it - completely off the top of my head, in only the vaguest order, limited to 2 albums per artist for diversity's sake (else you'd see a whole lot of certain folks ^^; )

[Asterias Wrathbunny]

[Abdon Ubidia]

[Wynaut]

This list is... something, alright

[gyre and gimble]

Here's mine, as of a three or four months ago. Big Star's Radio City and Mary Lattimore's Silver Ladders probably make this list now but I didn't want to re-generate the chart.

[TaylorH]

Here's one I made a while ago that is still pretty accurate. A more full picture of my favorites can be browsed in my 5 and 4.5 star RYM ratings.

[Majin Buu Roi]

Can't image, too lazy to learn, still want to post. So leaving aside cast albums from musicals, in no particular order:
Dirt-Alice in Chains, Vivid-Living Colour, Strong Persuader-Robert Cray, Somewhere in the Between-Streetlight Manifesto; Appeal to Reason-Rise Against; Are You Experienced, Electric Ladyland, and Jimi Plays Monterey-Jimi Hendrix Experience; Harlem Street Singer-Rev. Gary Davis; Cinquième As and Chapitre 7-MC Solaar; Surfing with the Alien-Joe Satriani; Trouble in Mind-Big Bill Broonzy, Rose Mountain-Screaming Females, Bright Lights EP and Blak and Blu-Gary Clark Jr., Flood-They Might Be Giants, The Bends-Radiohead (concur with Taylor here);My Favorite Things-Coltrane, The '59 Sound and Handwritten-Gaslight Anthem.

As you can see I have fairly substantial genre biases.
